The TOP 10 BEST Cafes in Ballard QLD

The Chocolate Cottage Café began in April 1997 from lifelong dreams of Kaye wanting to start a chocolate shop and teahouse and husband Colin owning his own restaurant. Our idea was to create a haven from the stresses of the outside world, somewhere to immerse yourself in. The restored 1877 original Highfields school house was the perfect place for our plans. From humble beginnings, we have literally grown with passion and hard work, producing all the chocolates in-house. The cafe now seats 230 and serves meals 6 days per week from 8.00am to 4pm. Over the years six other cottage businesses have been set up to add to the many things to explore. A destination with an amazing experience awaits you. Situated on a grassy acreage overlooking unsurpassed views of the Toowoomba Range, the cafe has plenty of room for the family with shaded outdoor seating and warm indoor dining around a fireplace throughout winter. The handpainted chairs, colourful décor and quirky giftware provides a perfect environment to indulge in our handmade chocolates, award winning cuisine and Lavazza coffee.

Originally a roasting house, Zarraffa’s Coffee first began operating from the backstreets of Southport on the Gold Coast, QLD. Back then, customers would come in for their daily coffee and enjoy a fresh brew while perched on a hessian bag full of green coffee beans that were yet to be roasted. From that first store in Southport on the Gold Coast, the Zarraffa’s Coffee business has evolved into an award-winning enterprise, now serving customers in over 70 locations across Queensland, Western Australia and New South Wales. Leading the way in retail coffee innovation, Zarraffa’s Coffee developed its popular drive thru store concept in 2009, providing customers with quality coffee and added convenience. The company’s expansion to the West Coast in 2012 enabled Zarraffa’s to introduce its unique blend of coffee to a whole new region of coffee lovers. The company now operates its network of stores and drive thru locations on both sides of the country, with expansion planned in these key geographical areas in the coming years. Zarraffa’s Coffee has fostered a culture where everyday customers can access great coffee and be a part of this Australian success story. A commitment to product, service, freshness, convenience and a genuine love of coffee, is what makes the Zarraffa’s Coffee experience ‘more than just a cup of coffee.’

The popular Extraordinary Joe Cafe was put up for sale in May 2018. It had been operating in Newtown Toowoomba for several years and was a favourite with many local coffee drinkers. It was only a matter of days later that a regular customer, Brett, heard the news over his order of poached eggs on sourdough, and immediately said “I’ll buy it. A hundred times I’ve said that I like it so much that I want to buy it”. Before Brett could talk to the owners of Extraordinary Joe’s Cafe one of the workers, Danielle, said “Would you like to be co-owners?”. The rest, as they say, is history. The same staff, the same great coffee, the same goddess of food in the kitchen (Lou), we kept all of the wonderful ingredients of cafe success the same, but needed a new name. Danielle had one; New Brew Cafe. The New has a double meaning; New as in Newtown, and New because we hoped to develop a fresh new soulful attitude in the cafe and to connect with the community. Danielle manages the production of the food and coffee, while Brett takes care of the back office and still turns up every day for his breakfast. Finally, THANK YOU to all of our customers. The teachers, mums, dads, ambos, chippies, sparkies, firies, Careflight, coppers, uncles and aunties and more. We feel priveleged that you have chosen to come to our little cafe, and trust us to make your day a little better. Have a really great day New Brew Cafe
